Impact to traffic and businesses

Traffic in Howe Street will be reduced throughout construction. Street parking will be affected by the presence of work trailers and construction equipment. During the repaving work on Howe St between Nelson St and Drake St, there will be some lane closures and parking restrictions. Parking restrictions will be removed as soon as they no longer needed.

Access to businesses (with frontages to the Howe Street sidewalk) will be maintained throughout the sidewalk work.

Following the completion of the sidewalk and curb ramps work, the full width of Howe St between Nelson St and Drake St will be repaved in early April 2015 (work may be done during the weekends). During repaving work, two lanes will be maintained at all times.
